Hole shot on the supra.

I think its time to do something about the stock suspension. That looks like a bit much.

Thanks! No personal bests, but I did make a couple 10.7x passes. The track was a little slick in the morning from the rain the previous night even though we had the jet dryer out there.

There were several people out there who shoot semi-professionally. I couldn't tell you what kind of gear they are using, but its not cheap. www.tonymophoto.com is website of the guy who shot the second one and he does good work. We also had a video crew out there and we will be releasing a video of the event.

You should try it in the rain when it's the front straight of the road course! Literally like ice.

Congrats on the win! The Louisville contingent needs to make it up there and see you guys run sometime.

I know nothing about drag suspension but do you think simply putting a travel limit strap on the front would help your situation? Would be simple and inexpensive to try.

We'd love to have you guys come up, i know there were several guys from Louisville that came up. Injected Performance from Lexington even brought their 350Z out.

I think the travel limiting straps may be a good place to start. Good call.

Well, I have that exact same setup as you! I guess they'll be able to handle the wheelies on my next setup!
